Effect of bars in AGN host galaxies and black hole activity

Sol Alonso, Georgina Coldwell, Diego Garcia Lambas

With the aim of assessing the effects of bars on active galactic nuclei (AGN), we present an analysis of host characteristics and nuclear activity of AGN galaxies with and without…

A sample of Seyfert-2 galaxies with ultra-luminous galaxy-wide NLRs -- Quasar light echos?

Mischa Schirmer, Ruben Diaz, Karianne Holhjem +2

We report the discovery of Seyfert-2 galaxies in SDSS-DR8 with galaxy-wide, ultra-luminous narrow-line regions (NLRs) at redshifts z=0.2-0.6. With a space density of 4.4 per cubic…

Outer boundary conditions for evolving cool white dwarfs

R. D. Rohrmann, L. G. Althaus, E. García-Berro +2

White dwarf evolution is essentially a gravothermal cooling process, which,for cool white dwarfs, sensitively depends on the treatment of the outer boundary conditions. We provide…

Mid-Infrared Selection of Active Galactic Nuclei with the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer. II. Properties of WISE-Selected Active Galactic Nuclei in the NDWFS Boötes Field

Roberto J. Assef, Daniel Stern, Christopher S. Kochanek +11

Stern et al.(2012) presented a study of WISE selection of AGN in the 2 deg^2 COSMOS field, finding that a simple criterion W1-W2>=0.8 provides a highly reliable and complete AGN sa…

Magnetic fields of HgMn stars

S. Hubrig, J. F. Gonzalez, I. Ilyin +8

The frequent presence of weak magnetic fields on the surface of spotted late-B stars with HgMn peculiarity in binary systems has been controversial during the two last decades. We…

Measuring the mass accretion rates of Herbig Ae/Be stars with X-shooter

M. A. Pogodin, S. Hubrig, R. V. Yudin +3

We present the results of our observations of eight magnetic Herbig Ae/Be stars obtained with the X-shooter spectrograph mounted on UT2 at the VLT. X-shooter provides a simultaneou…

XMM-Newton EPIC and OM observation of Nova Centauri 1986 (V842 Cen)

G. J. M. Luna, M. P. Diaz, N. S. Brickhouse +1

We report the results from the temporal and spectral analysis of an XMM-Newton observation of Nova Centauri 1986 (V842 Cen). We detect a period at 3.510.4 h in the EPIC data a…
